Nozzle

Definately out for this year due to the date. It is my wife's birthday (I just realised). Not a chance of hitting B2B this year. Sizing up my alternatives.

Perhaps the Orica Kermese?

Nozzle

Any idea on duration of the ride?

Nozzle

Ill be settling for the return ride to Wollongong. I plan to ride to Jamberoo at pace an not leave much in reserve. For me it will be a matter of need to return to Wollongong for the train. If I feel fresh I'll make a late call to press on. Weather is looking questionable too....

Nozzle

I'm 90 per cent in. Just got to line up the missus for a weekend in Bathurst.

Nozzle

I'll be there too. What are the options on getting to the trains? Bus from Jamberoo or ride to the Gong?

2. Adam
3. Noel

Nozzle

My interest in a return trip will largely hinge on how my legs are from racing Ssturday and beers consumed at Jamberoo....

Nozzle

Def keen. Love the Classics, even more so than the Grand Tours. I may need to HTFU between now and then for the post beers ride....

I've been bikeless for the past month and really itching to bury myself..... Keen for fast middies please...

Nozzle

Yup. I'm in. I'm even partial to a dip into the park depending on the traffic.

Nozzle

Nope. Will be lucky to get by Tuesday. No part yet.

Nozzle

Cheers Norm. Couldn't you have spotted me riding people off my wheel on some epic climb instead?

We had a chat about potential epic rides for the weekend. Shame the weather looks pants....

GregPankhurst drinking beer in The Angel on Pitt St.

Nozzle

It is possible to export from both Strava and Garmin Connect though....

Nozzle

Dougie, If your Garmin is loaded up with other ride data, Strava (or Garmin Connect) needs to scan through all your rides then select what to upload. I manually pick my latest rides and upload them that way. Otherwise delete your old ride data if you don't need it and you can auto upload much quicke...

If you are going to try and upgrade, be sure to back up your personal setting by following the steps here: https://support.garmin.com/support/searchSupport/case.faces?caseId=%7B53db55f0-ae68-11e0-d01c-000000000000%7D If it all goes wrong and you need to factory reset, you just need to copy back a fe...

Nozzle

The PVC pipe for the top tube perhaps? Or the many violations of the rules?

Nozzle

I'm passing on this one. My bike is still out of action (in the shop) and my training lately has involved copious amounts of beer and riding the sofa. I'm pretty sure those two main climbs will end me! Also waiting for Wiggle to send me my new Ultegra 12-28 cassette to make climbs like that more com...

Nozzle

Thanks Camilla,

Never noticed the 'Show Profile' on Bikely. Macquarie Pass is @ 25km

. Never ridden it but looks like a good challenge in itself.

Nozzle

I'm kind of keen.

What is the profile like? And how are people getting to/from Dapto?

Nozzle

Oh yeah, and would be keen to read Tyler's book.

Nozzle

Greg, I've got a copy of Close to Flying you can borrow if keen. Anyone get Wiggo's book?

Nozzle

I'll let you know on the Di2 issue. All I know at the moment is there is a total loss of power and a fully charged battery. The battery mount had a crack but not sure if it is related. Perhaps a mechanical group set was the way to go? The shop did not give me the full diagnosis but mentioned a few p...

Nozzle

My bike is out of action until Shimano rep is back in the New Year....

Looks like i'll be riding the sofa instead.

Nozzle

Is anyone planning a solid ride tomorrow morning? Assuming that my bike gets sorted out today (it is currently a single speed due to a Di2 issue) then i'm keen to start early and head for a ~100km ride or so.

Nozzle

Thanks all for your kind offers.

Stuart had sorted me out with a loan and I'm back up and running.

I'll see you all out for some rides this weekend most likely.

Nozzle

Jo, Did you crack your TWE rim?. Mine were my TWE's and less than 2 years old. The assessment from my bike mechanic is that the wheel was over tensioned. The only person who has touched those wheels was Greg himself so will investigate getting the wheel rebuilt. Not sure what his warranty will cover.

Nozzle

I've come to the realisation that my rear wheel rim is cracked on all of the drive side spoke holes. As I will need to wait to have this repaired under warranty, I am looking for a loaner Shimano hubbed wheel to tide me over the Christmas period and into Jan. If you have a wheel I can borrow, please...

Nozzle

FYI - They do offer a trial session via registering on their site. I'd suggest trying it out also. I can take or leave the VR aspect, but love the fact i can target my training and get some base in for next year (well thats the plan). If you do visit, mention that you are from DHBC and let me know i...

Nozzle

Hi All, I'm joining the new VR spin studio in Sydney CBD. http://www.athlete-lab.com They offer corporate rates however that requires numbers. As a gauge of interest, are there any others working in the CBD that would be keen for regular classes to get their kms up. Their clients are typically triat...

Nozzle

I'm feeling the vibe.

Nozzle

I'd be keen for a pinch test if its still on the table.

Nozzle

I'm still a maybe. Not sure I can haul myself up to EC in time for 7am start. All will depend on an early night.

Nozzle

I rode past deus and saw Lizanne etc sitting there. I kept riding because someone there was wearing a Vanderkitten kit and I didn't want to get school-girl excited.

I know that Joanne has VK kit. It came out at Lansdowne a fortnight ago.

Nozzle

It's a Graded Scratch race. Looks like fun. Will see if I'm in any form after all these Chrissy parties.

Nozzle

Ok. Too many beers tonight. Ride is off for me.

Nozzle

Loved that vid. Inspired to acquire a classic bike. Where to start?

Nozzle

Hey Lizanne. I'll be there for 6.30ish.

Noel

Nozzle

I know..... the morning after the Chrissy Party :shock: I'm time poor, have not been getting enough k's in so will be riding to Waterfall this Saturday. If you are keen, meet me at the cafe @6.30am. Pace should be Middies. Please let me know if you will be there and i'll be sure to wait about at the...

Nozzle

There was a touch of wheels in the middle of the bunch on the fast left hander @50km/hr. One guy hit the deck and I was on the brakes quick smart. Then a few others touched and another hit the deck hard. He didn't look to be moving so I stopped. 1min out or so and I was on it to ensure he maintained...

Nozzle

Cardigan Street Glebe is my new favourite!

Cobbles!!!

Nozzle

Hope you feel better soon Jez. I know too well how much it sucks to hit the road at speed. Just keep that road rash clean and indulge in some couch surfing.

Bikes seem to always have a way of coming away unscathed....

Look forward to hear the tale at the cafe when your back at it mate.

Nozzle

Without going into all the gory details, on the last lap I got the jump on the bunch. A rider from Manly was already off the front, who I quickly passed on the straight. I urged him to get going or we would both be caught. I quickly gapped him but I had nothing at the line. As you can see in the pic...

Nozzle

I'm tossing up between this or Waratah vets. Might see you there tomorrow morning if I choose Heffron.

Nozzle

Nozzle

Take that Bazza.

Nozzle

FYI - There are some roadworks on Quarry Master Drive near Saunders St, Pyrmont. Anyone commuting to the City should note that there are some barracades and the base of the Anzac Bridge walkway that will require you to stop and dismount. There is little to warn you of it coming up. I was involved in...

Nozzle · Re: Johnny Warren Jamberoo Classic - 10 February 2013 Just signed up.

Just signed up.

Nozzle

Thanks Rhys. Will do. I may have found a complete bike. Will see how I go. Any suggestions for an entry level set of wheels?

I saw some Miche Pistard clinchers or tubulars for $230 on Wiggle. I've got no idea when it comes to track. They are nice and stiff though (always good for sprinting).

Nozzle

Yeah. I rode to Kiama and the hill into town is killer. Especially after celebratory beers....

I'm keen to join this year.

Nozzle

I definitely enjoyed racing with Waratahs as opposed to my usual RBCC race. Heffron is a much tougher course, and rough as guts. Lansdowne was nice and smooth, with the added fun of a descent and a challenge of trying to mount a sprint from an incline. A new one for me. I felt good and performed a '...

Nozzle

I'm interested on advice for choosing pedals for a track bike. I currently run Speedplay Zero's on my road bike and have a spare set to use for track. Does anyone use Speedplay's for track? I see a lot of people with SPD's and toe straps, etc. Will the float be an issue? Any drawbacks with running t...

Nozzle

I believe the frame is alloy. I've not laid eyes on it yet but am going to Canberra this weekend to collect it. I'm pretty sure that it will have frame, headset, stem and seatpost but will need to see what is there when i get there. The top tube is 55cm and may be a smidge long for me (most of my bi...

Nozzle

I've decided to build up a spare track frame that my old man has in his garage. If anyone has some pointers for any sources of either second hand kit or where to buy new value for money kit please let me know. Budget for build is sub $1k. I'll be cheaping on the wheels with a view to pick up some be...

Nozzle

I might join you @ Lansdowne. Never raced with vets before. Might be good not to have to chase down some youngsters for a change! I will race @ Heffron too this Sat if anyone is keen.

Nozzle

Good luck to everyone doing the Fitz's tomorrow. Hope you all get some decent weather. Look forward to hearing about it next week.

I'm selling my old roadie with aspirations of riding track. My groupset is 2yrs old and the frame new warranty replacement in Jan this year (2012 frame). So new frame, carbon forks and headset. Wheels are from my new bike and an upgrade on the stock Shimano R500's that Orbea originally supplied. It'...

Nozzle

Marc. I might ride over with you. I won't be racing though as I am testing our my knee strain. Best bet would be to leave from Marrickville Rd @ 2pm

Nozzle

Thanks All. Budget is around $1k. I'm aiming to sell my old roadie to cover the cost of a track bike. (n-1+1) :| I've spoken to the guys @ Kirawee and sounds like they know their stuff. Will pay them a visit. The Edge setup for $1k seems to be decent. I'll keep my eyes open for a second hand bike tho.

Nozzle

I always assume that it is a profanity when abbreviated. For F's Sake.

Nozzle

I'm in the C Grade is quite challenging and D is too easy basket.

D Grade with SUVelo can be competitive though if they get a large bunch.

Nozzle

If I were to start out on the track, what is a good entry level bike that could: 1. Be ridden on the track (for training mostly) 2. Be raced (occasionally) 3. Be ridden on road (with brakes obviously) Am I talking about two bikes for the above or does someone do this already? I realise that the brak...

Nozzle

Marc, they will drop you in C Grade if new. Planning on going out this weekend?

Nozzle

I don't know about you but I found the stock insoles to be appalling, I had sore feet after my first ride with them. Luckily I get them replaced with some Superfeet one when I had my bike fit just after getting the shoes and they're very comfy now. You read my mind. I pulled them out last night to ...

Nozzle

All fitted up now and dialled in the heel screws.

Went for the only colour available with Speedplay cleat pattern. Stark white.

Nozzle

My new kicks arrived today (love Wiggle and their prompt shipping). Fit is almost spot on. I've not tweaked them in any way and the toe box seems to be roomy but not too roomy. The rest of the shoe is spot on. Nice and snug. To look at, they appear notably smaller than my Shimano's but are like the ...

Nozzle

Hey Bill, with your luggage too? Wasn't sure how I'd go with my backpack and sleeping bag. Might drop that off the night before.

Nozzle

Or just have a lay in like me!!! See you all after the R2CC. Or the Fitz's for that matter (all you loons).

Nozzle

Thanks all for a great ride (Jon, Greg & Ray (my Dad)). Although a bit wet still managed an average of 28km/hr. Also picked up a few DHBC stragglers (James, Tim & Ben).

Looking forward to next weekend's ride. I'll no doubt see the DHBC crew there in force.

Cheers,

Noel

Nozzle

Michael. That is almost exactly what i'm thinking of getting. The ELF hub would be good to see in the flesh. Very light. As for the rear hub the free hub body is very robust. I've notices I've been chewing all my Aluminium ones.

Nozzle

I'm in.......

Cool, see you there. We have 3, maybe 4 so far...

Nozzle

Oh, in that case I think I'll have to give Waterfall a miss.

If I have to set the alarm to wake up at 2am to change all the clocks I might be a bit tired by the start time...

See you all next week.

Nozzle

I got my Selle SMP from the Giant store in Clarence Street. They gave me a loan saddle for 1 week or so.

I guess like my shoe debate, it definitely pays to try first. I'm glad I did that with my seat. Happy to wing it on my shoes though....

Nozzle

I've pulled the trigger and estimated I'm a 43.5. Will take advantage of Wiggles new returns process if they aren't right. They have 25% off the Ergo 3 Speedplay model and a £40 voucher bringing the purchase down to a more palatable $330.

Nozzle

Not likely to make it tonight. I did find this site useful though.... http://www.sidicafe.co.uk/size-guide

Nozzle

Will try and get down there tonight. Not sure how I will fare though.

Nozzle

I've seen some anecdotal info that Sidi are around x1 Euro size smaller. I'm looking at ordering a pair by tomorrow online. I'm a 43 in Shimano and find them almost right if not a smidge large (Could go a 42.5). Does anyone else have a similar foot? If so, what did you buy? I'm thinking of getting a...

Nozzle

I'll see you at the cafe then run up to Enmore.

Nozzle

Corner of Stanmore and Enmore Rd.

Nozzle

Joining another bunch @ 7am leaving from Enmore.

Nozzle

Hi All,

John is confirmed out for tomorrow. If anyone is keen ill be still up for a ride north to Bobbin tomorrow. I'll be doing Lapa if I don't get any takers on Bobbin.
Let me know if you are keen.

Nozzle

Most def.

Middies pace, I assume?

Close to it.... Depending on consensus we can pick a route to suit. I've really been enjoying Bobbin but leaving early is a must.

Nozzle

Just looking at the weather and it looks to be favorable for a Sunday and Monday outing.

For anyone keen, i'd like to hit Akuna or Bobbin on Monday but starting early @ 6am.

I had a few touches of wheels in last weekend's Crit @ Heffron.

Nozzle

I'm heading out tomorrow for RBCC in C Grade. Depending on my day (free time) i'll most likely ride over. Let me know if anyone is keen to ride over and we can meet @ Marrickville Rd Cafe.

Nozzle

Thanks Adrian.... I really must borrow that book on wheel building you were talking about the other day. :!: How many holes should one go for? The advantages of a stiff 32 hole rim are obvious. How much difference to the ride will dropping that to say 24front/28rear and will that make a big diff to ...

Nozzle

The price is definitely right, the build, not the best but even paying someone here to get the spoke tension right you'll still come out way ahead. I would highly recommend Chris King hubs, they should last around 15 years if looked after. Also the Velocity A23 rims are great, the HED Belgium is a ...

Nozzle

Last time I rode with the Fasties I did a big turn past Brighton and never recovered. I'll be doing measured efforts this time but will no doubt find myself 'hanging off the back'.

Nozzle

If I join it will be at middies pace. I'm likely to try my hand to hang of the back of fasties tomorrow. Depending on how I feel I'll do RNP but will go Waterfall in this time at the recommendation of all last week.

Nozzle

What bike is he selling? He refers to a bike in his add.

Nozzle

I'm definitely keen for a repeat assault on the RNP next weekend depending on whether I go to race with SuVelo. I think I need the kms so am leaning towards the long ride south.

Nozzle

FYI. My average pace door to door yesterday was 28.7km/hr. We waited at the top of the major hills to regroup but the pace was pushed on pretty hard, which I felt on the last climb. There was a good run in in the way back too. My pace dropped off when I hit the wall in the last few kms and could not...

Nozzle

I'll ride middies tomorrow too. I normally drop in at when doing RNP but not really fussed. Might be better to go in at Waterfall if we have a small group.

Nozzle

In an attempt to start improving my climbing and chase extra km's i'll be hitting RNP tomorrow assuming I can convince someone to share the work. I'll be riding out with the usual bunches at 6.30am. Let me know if you are in and I will be sure to ride in the appropriate group and make the plan. BTW ...

Nozzle

Why dont we all just bite the bullet and do RNP. I'm keen to get away @ 6am if that helps all? Either way i'll be there this Sunday trying my chances with Fasties again but will be promptly dropped at the Taren Point bridge again unless I opt to suck some wheels this time.....

Nozzle

I'm still fence sitting on this ride. Had a look at the website and noted this amusing blog. Not sure if it makes me want to do this more or less.... http://edwardsw38.wordpress.com/2012/04 ... -as-fun-8/

Well done Eleri.
